A date?

It was kinda a tipical Saturday here..Josh decided we should do our shopping and get it over with which was kinda a good idea cause it left Sunday with more of a relaxing day here...The store was so crowded you couldn't get down the aisle you were standing inline and when it was time to checkout you thought Hmmm...it isn't Xmas yet..we stood for 20 minutes but at least we made it home before the rain came pouring out of the sky...I went on a date with my friend..my wonderful sister watched my two children and they seem to have a great time...especially Keri since they played girl things...she has some pictures she is going to send I can't wait..cause children seem to grow up so fast so it so important to enjoy them while there young..well my date we went to dinner at LongHorn steakhouse it wasn't crowded and the food was pretty good..been a while since I have been out to eat at a nicer restaurant so it was a nice change..we went bowling too I didn't do it bad on the second game the first was ha ha anyway we ended up heading back to my sister house to watch the game..since he couldn't decide what he wanted to do ...and then when we returned home he made a quick exit out..I really dont understand men
and again I made for most of the date...well the day was great ..and at least the children had a nice evening...I am giving up dating for a while and just enjoy being a great single mom with the world two best children it will make my life easier...and we can just enjoy each other...

End of the Week

This week seemed to go kinda slow I think because it was so busy...we started our homework which once it got started the children did their homework every afternoon without any complains so that was great..Thursday night I took Josh to the cub scout roundup at school and they signed up 14 boys for his troop this school year I think that is great..It looks like it going to be alot of fun this year...They both said they did pretty good on their first spelling test this year so that is good news...It rained the last two days here so we have stayed home afterschool and just played which the kids seemed to enjoy since being back to school...Oh we had pizza night wednesday night and drove in a heavy rainstorm so their school could get credit...what moms will do for the kids school..anyway we have a long weekend since it labor day nothing planned but to relax...the kids are going to visit my sister for a few hours on saturday so mom can go on a date (yea i wrote it right)...and then sunday Josh seemed to have plans so mom will just chill in Keri...well another week of school and it went pretty well I think they are getting kinda settled in..

Today was a wonderful day...yes it rained it even thundered and lightning here but it was ok...Both children had a great time at school today I think they are getting settled into the routine now...we didn't have any problems doing our math homework tonight both sat down with out any problems and did most of it without any help...why? cause they love math so it helps..I had to go back to school tonight for an event which turned out to be very good..most of our parents attended...KEWL...and the kids went to the media center which had other children so they weren't bored...My day was really great it seemed to go fast..all the children came into do project and seem to really love coming to school everyday...i really love my job alot...I enjoy listening to their stories and watching them play and just seeing them learn so much each day..
Josh is really enjoying this week too..so far he has had nothing but excellant marks in conduct and seems to have learned he has no choice at school but to follow the five rules ...so not having the computer for one day he learned alot...GO mom for learning to be stronger and it ok to not let them have their way all the time...well i think tomorrow will be just as good...it the middle of the week and a nice long weekend too..

better get to bed...sometimes it tough running all day with three years old when your getting older....ha ha
